Need to talk to someone?

My name is Delphine, and I'm a high schooler living in New England, USA. I'm extremely passionate about mental health and have firsthand experiences on how it can affect people's lives. I love sports, play soccer, and am an avid fan of Formula 1 and tennis. I'm the second oldest of four kids and grew up in a family torn apart due to addiction and mental health struggles. My goal in life is to reduce the stigma of mental health and make resources like 7cups more available!

I speak English, Spanish and a bit of Galician. I've rebuilt my life more than once, so I know what it feels like when everything is uncertain and you just need someone to hear you out. I'm not here to fix anything — I'm here to listen, without judgment. Everyone deserves that.

Hi, I am a volunteer listener:) Please note that I am NOT a lisenced therapist or mental health professional, but I am here to support you with non-judgemental listening.  My working hours are 5pm-10pm CST (US central time). If I am not online, please leave a message and I will try my best to respond back as soon as I can. I have the experience of dealing with a life-threatening disease, a mental health issue and a change of culture and living environment and I hope to help more people by being a volunteer listener. I am a fluent speaker in both Chinese and English, and I can read, understand, and write both languages without difficulty. Please note that I CANNOT provide medical advice or therapy, but I will try my best to offer you support emotionally. Also, I aged up a few months ago, and I am not qualified to listen to teens now. To those we had great conversations with previously: I am so sorry for my sudden disappearance. I didn't block you guys. I am just not qualified to listen to teens now. Best wishes to you all.

Verified listener 👂 💠 Room Supporter 🗒️💠 7 Cups Internship alumnus 🧑‍🏫 INTJ personality 🧠 ------------------------- Welcome to 7 Cups of Tea! 🍵 My chats are LGBTQ+ friendly. ☺️ I recently completed a bachelor's degree in experimental psychology, with a concentration in cognitive psychology. I will soon begin a research-based graduate degree in Experimental Psychology, focusing on cognitive psychology. I volunteer on 7 Cups so I can provide a non-professional listening ear and emotional support to others. I have been on 7 Cups as a listener for quite some time. Please note I do not offer professional support, and it is against 7 Cups policies to use the platform as a crisis support service. If you are in crisis, please refer to the webpage for www.7cups.com/crisis for further support. I know what it feels like to not be heard or listened to adequately by others, as I personally face this in my day-to-day life. Sometimes it's just not possible to share what you're facing for several reasons. For example, many people can be busy, closed off, unsupportive, or ignorant to the idea of providing personal support to others. When this happens, it can be difficult to process thoughts and emotions. Please feel free let me know what is on your mind, but please avoid chats that are sexual in nature.. I will be glad to support you :-) If you would like support and I am offline, please feel free to leave a message and I will get back to you as soon as I can. ------------------------- Some gentle piano music and nature imagery: https://youtu.be/dTI3I9ZFzTI?feature=shared Relaxing music with birds singing: https://youtu.be/FMrtSHAAPhM?feature=shared

I am passionate about helping people. So interested and passionate to bring about positive change to individuals, families, groups, and Communities.

I believe mental health can overall help in growth of hoomans 😃 Currently working on my sharing circle skills. I cater especially to women and teen members, as I believe these groups often need a space where they can feel truly understood. I offer support in areas such as stress, self-confidence, friendships, family life, and personal growth always with empathy and respect. I kindly request that adult men look for other listeners who may be a better fit for their needs.

I am a very easy and open person to talk to. I can assure you no judgement whatsoever as well as help with anything you are going through. I have had some really though times with romantic relationships so i will always be able to relate with you and hopefully relieve your stress.  Leadership roles: Relationship stress room supporter Doorkeeper Safety Patrol Team

💤 CURRENTLY NOT TAKING IN NEW MEMBERS; I'M ON A SELF-CARE BREAK. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING. 💤 🌧️ I'm CS, short for Celestial Sapphire. You can also call me Sapphire if you feel like it. I am here to offer whatever kind of conversations you need: random talks, deep conversations, philosophical discussions, current events, our favourite books and films, and how music affects us... whatever helps you, please let me. Never underestimate the power of conversations. So, what do you want to talk about? I'm waiting :) 🌧️ === Polymath. Hardcore stargazer. Sunset worshipper. Astrophile. Pluviophile. Nyctophile.

As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for, in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labours and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy. = Max Ehrmann <3 === Please consider the topics I am open to discussing (listed in a separate section). I get members who have concerns about issues I normally would not be comfortable discussing because: * I have never had that experience ergo I won't be able to help you much; * I am not confident that the experiences I had regarding those issues have made me the ideal person to talk to as it might have affected me negatively and I am still in the process of healing from it; and * I am not trained to handle some specific issues about mental health and you'd be better talking to someone who is I don't turn my back on everyone who wants to talk to me, but please manage your expectations :) In case I am unavailable, so many beautiful lightworkers are willing to listen to you and help you process your thoughts and emotions.

I openly listen people.

A NOTE: I am not normally here on weekends as I use that time to spend with my family. If you wish to leave a message I will get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience and understanding! 💜🙃 I have been on 7 cups off and on for 7 years. I am a member as well as a listener. I am here to listen if you have issues, or if you are lonely/bored I love a good chat about nothing! I have been through a lot in relationships and have dealt with a significant amount of loss of loved ones. I am a very positively minded person and I try my best to focus on the positive side of life and always be thankful, especially for the little things... like chocolate!🍫  I look at things from a different perspective than most, and believe in honesty and being respectful of people's feelings. I have learned a lot about myself through personality assessments. If they're not your thing feel free to skip to the next paragraph. I always felt like an outsider my whole life, like I was different. As it turns out ...I am! My personality type (Myers Briggs Test) makes up a mere 1.5-2% of the total female population! I am proudly INFJ! This test helped me see that I'm not strange/ weird (okay, maybe a lil' weird😝) I am UNIQUE! I have taken the True Colors Test as well and I am Blue(mostly)and Gold is my second color. I'm also an Aries 🐑 and I am an Empath. Look forward to meeting you! 🫂

Hi! I'm Patrick, and I'm here to lend an ear. I'm only to my current members right now, but that might change soon
